<p><font color="Gray">Source: wwsword.blogspot.com --- Tuesday, July 28, 2015</font><br />The <b>CLIVEN</b> <b>BUNDY</b> case is a useful example for clarifying some of the arguments that we often hear surrounding the power of government and the rights of individuals and the limits on each. States do not have rights. People have rights. This is why a people have the right to overthrow a government that is no longer respecting their liberties and rights. While people have rights, states have powers. In a republic form of government, these powers emanate from the will of the people. The more democratic the government, the more its manifested power reflects the popular will. The individual states that make up the Union have powers delegated to them by the US federal government or reserved to them by the US Bill of Rights. In all cases, the US Constitution is the supreme law of the land. What the federal legislature and executive pass into law or the federal executive decrees by executive order (unopposed by Congress) or a federal court rules stands unless it is overturned by a higher court or superseded by new law. Article Six, Clause 2, of the US Constitution establishes the supremacy of the federal government. There is no such thing as “states rights” and there never has been; first, because states don’t have rights; second, because we are first citizens of the United States, after that residents of the various states. <b>BUNDY</b>’s passport (if he has one or ever will) identifies him as a US citizen.

<p><font color="Gray">Source: freethoughtblogs.com --- Monday, July 27, 2015</font><br />Brian Tashman of Right Wing Watch makes an interesting observation about the totally opposite reaction conservatives are having to the death of Sandra Bland and the big standoff last year involving <b>CLIVEN</b> <b>BUNDY</b>’s ranch in Nevada. He writes: Last year, a Nevada rancher who boasts that he doesn’t “recognize the United States government as even existing” become a hero of Fox News pundits and other conservative commentators for refusing to pay grazing fees he owes the government. The rancher, <b>CLIVEN</b> <b>BUNDY</b>, worked with militia groups and other armed demonstrators to resist law enforcement officials who tried to prevent further grazing after several court rulings went against <b>BUNDY</b> , resulting in an armed standoff . <b>BUNDY</b>’s stardom among Republican politicians and right-wing pundits , however, didn’t dissipate when his supporters pointed their weapons at law enforcement agents, but only after he made disparaging remarks about how “Negros” were “better off as slaves,” and even then he still had some defenders. But when a black woman named Sandra Bland was forced out of her car and to the ground by a Texas police officer after she reportedly failed to signal during a lane switch and declined to put out a cigarette, Fox News thinks this is a time to lecture viewers on how to be respectful to law enforcement. Bland later died in police custody in what investigators ruled was a suicide. A very good point. It just reminds me once again how m ...</p>http://freethoughtblogs.com/dispatches/2015/07/27/fox-news-sandra-bland-and-cliven-bundy/Mon, 27 Jul 2015 18:21:00 GMT
